00:40There were some particular moments, one that we highlight in the article, where the ball
00:46hits the net and changes the course of its trajectory as a result.
00:51The robot is already planning how to hit the ball before it gets to the net.
00:54So the robot had made a decision and a prediction of where the ball was going to be and had
00:59started its movement to hit it and then the ball hit the net, which changed the ball's
01:03trajectory and we saw the robot adjust quickly enough in real time to sort of change where
01:08the racket was going and change its hit.
01:10To have that sort of change of decision part way through, that was particularly thrilling
